Re: the grey skies

[not a teacher]

"grey skies" is an idiom, though I can't find a proper reference for it. It's used in poems and songs, meaning "life's troubles". So yes, if sky was in the singular, it would mean the literal sky; the weather began to clear. skies in this context is not totally clear. (HA! clear!)
